Quote

Children are the first thing I see in the morning and the last thing I see at night. It hurts me to be away from them for a few hours. It really does. I love them and they're girls, so they know how to push my buttons. But I've learned a lot and I have to thank my wife for that.

Now it really is, believe it or not, 90% of the films are green lit, not by the studio heads, but by the marketing department.

Once in one's life, for one mortal moment, one must make a grab for immortality if not, one has not lived.

When you're scared, when you're hanging on, when life is hurting you, then you're going to see what you're really made of.

If I just know in my gut that a film is going to work, I'll fight to the death over it, and I convince myself. When a movie is purely a money job, the film doesn't have the same sort of intensity, and the audience almost senses it, at least that's the way I perceive it. So, yeah, the idea is to do something that you truly, truly believe in.

I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.

I really have very little aspirations about acting because I think that probably the best things have come and gone. I would like to focus on writing and directing. I love writing and directing even though writing can be incredibly painful and lonely. I get great satisfaction from doing it.

Eventually writing became more interesting to me than acting.

When I saw 'Hercules,' my mind just exploded because I was extremely thin I was insecure. I literally ran out of the theatre and started lifting things, anything I could think of - milk crates. I'm still lifting things. It changed my life.
Sylvester Stallone

Every time I've failed, people had me out for the count, but I always come back.
Sylvester Stallone
Image
I never quite understood these actors - though I envy them sometimes - who can lie out for a year or two. I feel as though time is a real pressing issue, and I want to get as much work done in the time that I have left.

Lighting can bring out certain contours in the body, in the face, in the eyes, that otherwise flat lighting couldn't.

With a lot of comedians, one of their major attributes is that they look comedic, with a certain hangdog or manic expression. I look like the neighborhood bully. That doesn't elicit laughter.
Sylvester Stallone

There is an age-old proverb that really does hold true in every area of life - in relations between nations and right down to the most subtle and sophisticated or must unstable and unsophisticated relations between lovers - and it is this: they took kindness for weakness.
Sylvester Stallone
Image
I'm a big believer that, in life, we can't succeed in everything. Most times, we lose.

On the sequel, you've lost the element of surprise. Usually, on the first one you may not go very, very deep into character the second one you start to explore the character a bit more.
Sylvester Stallone

The character of Rocky was built on the idea that he was chosen to do something. That's why the first image in Rocky is the picture of Christ.
